Trylemma put me up on some disturbing news about a certain Backburner Crew OG that will remain nameless, but let's just say he needs to stop relying on himself for help. Make of that what you will. So, in solidarity with black musicians, solidarity for Cam the Wiz in his argument with Rapper "X-Man", and solid admiration for a truly unique and dope voice in Canadian rap, we present for you Hide Your Babies.
Unfortunately I can't tell you much about this release, I'm not the UGF author with the most info when it comes to the history of these obscure works. I will say for those of you unfamiliar with Cam, even if his lyrics weren't as thought provoking and often beautiful as they are, his voice and how he uses it would be enough to recommend him. Laid back and clever, his music also has a totally unique quality that sets him apart from so many other rappers from the great white north.
He's got a significant collection of tracks with various producers and emcee's going back almost two decades (click the label below for an even older release, also with Dragon Fli Empire's own Cosm) with a diverse collection of talent such as Epic, Ira Lee, Factor, The Dirty Sample, Kay the Aquanaut, Giovanni Marks etc. If you like any of those names, you probably already like Cam but if you don't then do yourself a favor and stop sleeping on the Wiz.
